I took up the Bodhran many years ago, when I was going to folk festivals. I learnt basic rhythms, but nothing fancy. I know enough to be able to join in with most things.

I started ukulele two years ago after watching a TED lecture where he had mastered a few three chord songs in a month. I find it difficult as I have a problem with my hands and, after a few hundred hours of practice, I've probably reached my limit due to this restriction. That said, I can do an impresive amount of songs.

Most of all, I picking up instruments for my own enjoyment so I'll never stop mucking about. There are a selection of me singing and playing on my YouTube channel.
